Letter: Don't allow back pay for Congress

The politicians in Washington should never get paid for the mess they have created. I believe they have deep enough pockets to go without pay for a long time. In many cases they have enough money to do this job with out ever getting paid. Just holding their pay until the issue is solved is no hardship for them. It means nothing to them.

They should never get back pay for this because of the damage this has done to our country. They have had ample time to avoid the government shutdown. They chose not to solve the problem before the deadline and now the American people and businesses are paying the price. If anyone in the private sector shuts their business down they never make up that income.

Why should they be any different? They are there to solve problems, not cause them. No back pay! Not one cent, ever.
